The splendor of Vienna – with its magnificent palaces, classical music tradition and cultural flair – is the perfect prelude to a river cruise that promises both relaxation and discovery. The journey continues to Budapest. Here you can expect an impressive mix of historical architecture, such as the Parliament, the thermal baths and the imposing Fisherman’s Bastion, as well as a lively coffee house culture. In Bratislava, the charming capital of Slovakia, you will experience an enchanting old town flair, characterized by baroque palaces, medieval alleyways and the castle high above the Danube. The picturesque Dürnstein with its famous castle ruins, where Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned, offers a fairytale sight. Further downstream, the magnificent Melk Abbey, a jewel of Baroque architecture, majestically towers over the river. In Linz, a city that combines tradition and modernity, you can experience contemporary art, digital culture and the warmth of Upper Austria.
